My name is Casey Angelova and I am an American living in Bulgaria. I have a blog called Eating, Gardening and Living in Bulgaria, which I write about my adventures learning to cook, grow and live in abroad. Today I would like to share with you all two vegan recipes from my blog.

The first is a beet and cashew croquette with tahini sauce. 10 years ago, I made a beet salad, which was my first beet experience and I wasn't too crazy about it. However, I've since warmed up to them. While not really a croquette, this dish was inspired by a restaurant in Sofia, Bulgaria. I tried, rather successfully to re-create the recipe.

The second recipe I'd like to share is a dessert. Though it was a challenge to use dates, ginger, and couscous in a recipe, I came put with a tasty vegan pudding.

You can find the recipe here.

Casey's blog is all about the the trial and error process of learning how to cook, grow and live in Bulgaria. If you'd like to check out more, just visit http://www.caseyangelova.com/. If you'd like to be considered for a Reader Spotlight, just check out our info post with all the gooey details.
